Those plants did p.s. Now what?

What happens to glucose and all that oxygen?

Multiple Select

But first! What do plant cells make during photosynthesis?

• Glucose (C6H12O6)

• Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

• Oxygen gas (O2)

• Water (H2O)

That's right: O2 and glucose

That delicious candy sugar came from plants*.
That necessary oxygen gas you breathe came from plants*.


...how did they make it?

Multiple Select

What do plants use to make that glucose and oxygen?

• CO2

• H2O

• C6H12O6

• O2

...become glucose and oxygen

--> C6H12O6 + O2

Carbon dioxide and water become...

CO2 + H2O -->

So, that makes it...

The world isn't filled to the rafters with glucose and oxygen.

Why not?

What happens next?

Those products get used up.

Carbohydrates are a great source of short-term E (as you all know). And glucose is a...
...a...

Glucose is a carbohydrate

Building block for larger carbs
Source of energy when you eat those carbs
Building block for other biomolecules (it's complicated)

And it gets used:

Glucose is a monosaccharide, one of the monomers (building blocks, subunit) of carbohydrates.

Specifically,

You eat things, yes, but that food goes somewhere. It's not like your mouth is just full of Energy (well, for some of you, at least).

How does glucose get used?

Welcome to cellular respiration

Or, how we get all the energy we need to survive and then some, yay.
